Imagine assassins creed 2 with syndicates graphics and shading

The PS3 version looks a bit more "dreamy" and in general pixelated. The PS4 version is a definite improvement here. But I feel like the lighting in the PS3 version is more atmospheric in some places. But that might be different because the scenes were recorded in different ingame times? Besides that, really nice video, very well made!

I'm missing fog/mist (dream like) effect. Yes, PS4 looks sharper, but PS3/Xbox360 versions are more atmospheric for me.

I came here for the video but stay because of the music i love ac2.

ps 4 graphic's look amazing but the original graphics give you the good old vibe behind the game.I mean ,the new graphics lose all the nostalgia of the game because they seem like a simple ps 4 game .I don't know if you understand but if you do ,you know exactly what i mean :)

Well...I have to say I really, really loved the fact that every city had its specific "fog" and "color". Like how Monteriggioni was "green and grey" and Firenze was "red". I mean, I can see lots of graphic improvements, figures were not as sharp or defined before the remastered version, but I really wish they hadn't taken out that foggy and dreamy atmosphere that made places look so beautiful and unique.

I don't get why they completely threw out AC2's style of colour grading and bloom, it's what set it apart from the others and created very specific moods for each location. The "remaster" just looks flat in comparison to the original. It's all the more baffling since they didn't change Brotherhood or Revelations AT ALL.

This soundtrack always makes me love AC again

At some points the PS4 version looks better and at other points the PS3 version looks better

The old graphics will always be in my heart and it looks like an old moving painting at times

i hate when people do graphic comparison videos they can never seem to do both versions at the same time of day in the game like in this video the ps3 version always seemed to be at night and the ps4 version was during the day if you want compare graphics do it at the same time of day in game

Am I the only one who prefers how the PS3 version looks? PS: I have both systems.

Ezios Family ALWAYS makes me cry!

I love both for different reasons. It's like they say, "you may look at the past with fresher eyes and things may seem clearer but you can't feel exactly what was felt in that moment ever again." Ezio's trilogy, especially AC2 and Brotherhood, will always have a special place in my heart whether they're remastered or not. The music, the ambience in both, the storyline and music will always be engraved in my memory regardless of the quality. The game/s represented a time in my life where things sorta made sense and I just disappeared into the gameplay for hours on end. And despite loving the remastered version for ps4, I can see why that little bit of magic is lost with the finer details. When AC2 first came out it was a dream for me. I adored every aspect of the game. Still do. I remember being in love with some of the facial features some of the characters had and I can admit they lost that little touch in the remastered version. Even with the Subject Sixteen memories...the beginning of each memory of his always had this dangerous darkness about it, like we were honestly discovering this dark truth about our society and the whole darker ambience of the dark grey shattered glass and fragments made it seem like the whole thing was a blur but in the remastered version... that screen where Subject Sixteen was talking was made a lighter shade of grey and it lost that dark shattered mind affect. I love them both for different reasons.

While the higher resolution and sharper look is appreciative it misses the gloomy renaissance oil painting look of the original, and looks too bright most of the time. The original game admittedly looked way too "smeary" and was covered in a bad Vaseline-like filter, but I feel they could've done a way better job preserving the original look of the game while updating it.

tbh the remastered version looks like a huge improvement from the original one, the original looked phantom like, or if It was blurred for console limitations, they removed the green filter from the original, made it sharper, raised the resolution by a substantial amount

Best comparison of the collection that I've seen!!

Pure technical conversion. PS4 is sharper but they completely butchered the art style which relayed heavily on specific type of lighting. With volumetric lighting this could have been fixed but now the end result just looks really bad and flat. Stay away.

That music😍😍😍😍

The new one is cleaner but I preferred the original, that colour gradient gave it an unsettling and dream like atmosphere

Ezio’s music still gives me goosebumps

I want ubisoft to remake this Ezio full story with syndicate graphics...

The reason why its so dark on ps3 sometimes is because your doing it in the cloudy time of day.

For me as a gameplayer and as a graphic designer the Original PS3 looks and flows very very beautifully!... This is a flagrant example how the most simple things can be more pretty and magical... But to do it you have to know how you can make it happen! Its 'painted' by the myst, fog and the contrasts... Great video and great Music choice! Congrats and cheers c[*] look for me in mugstunning at AC4 Multiplayer guys :) im still there c[*] as PalmBay78

5:57 Venezia on PS3 with big highlights is very nostalgic

How can some people honestly say that their is almost no improvement in this remaster? It looks so much better on the PS4 and even better in 4K on the pro.

Damn some parts like Santa maria del Fiore and Basilica di San Marco looks amazing on PS4

PS4 version might have better graphics but tbh the ps3/xbox360 version gives off a better vibe and overall a atmosphere more suited for the game but that's just me.

7:42 that's all i need to stay in the ps3 version

I love this remaster but I hate the color palet they used for brotherhood and revelations (especially brtherhood that looks too yellow)

I will stay with the PS3 version. Look at the smoke bombs on PS4, it seemed as they were made of flour. Also, too much definition ruins that sensation that you are the main character... the dreamy sensation of Ps3 is because it seems as we are only focused on one vision plane, while the Ps4 version shows you the smallest detail of every corner and makes me feel that indeed it is a videogame

The ps4 version looks like the ps3 version of Brotherhood

PS4 version is too „Clean“ . If you understand what i mean

The reason the PS3 version had so much fog is because the PS3 couldn't render all the buildings fast enough so they hide it behind fog. Similar to bo2 transit zombies. Dense fog and those annoying zombies that grab onto you slow you down so the PS3 can render the map. Now that this game is on PS4 they could remove all that shit and brighten the game up.

10 years old and Assassin’s Creed II is still the best game ever made along side Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood of course! ❤️

I love that music...

Still have goosebumps when listening ac2 soundtrack

I know the PS3 version was more blurry but I felt like that was distance blur included. Everything being in focus in the PS4 version just looks weird. Plus the PS3 had this mystical coloured lighting that is completely absent in the new version.

I still don’t get why they took out the representative color from every city. Blue Venice and it’s glowing water it’s magically gorgeous. It’s all gone in the remaster, all the cities look exactly the same... 😒

The textures have improved on PS4 and they look sharp and distinct.

The marble in the villa doesn't have the reflection effect on PS4 version

3:29 tells me all i need to know, ps4 is superior guys, ps3 is just the nostalgic dreamy effect of venice and forli

I prefer if they kept the PS3 Dreamy Bloom effect with the PS4 Sharpness & Details together... That would've been much better but no.... PS4 Version may be more detailed & has higher resolution but it feels so Flat without the original beautiful atmospheric art style of AC 2....

the water in venezia looks better in ps3/xbox360

I never liked the fog, so it's an I'm improvement to me.

The textures, lighting, resolution and antialiasing are definitely greatly improved and sharper on PS4. But I feel like that was achieved by stripping away the atmospheric feel of AC2. This game definitely had a gloomy/sad tone to it and that definitely added to its charm (probably due to its dramatic storyline). Now all of this is absent from the remastered AC2. Bad move Ubisoft.

Ps4 had a good thing going for the sharper image.... But! I love how the ps3 had more of a own atmosphere like experience... Too bad they changed the lighting a night bolder... Instead of the nice glow in the ps3 version...

Ps4 has better textures, ps3 a better atmosphere. Ps4 4 looks sometimes too many "clean"

The Ps3 Version is a lot better the colors the Water the smoke its so Dreamy the Atmosphere the Bright light in Venice Yes the Ps4 Version is Sharper Higher Resolution but without these things it didnt fell right.

Fans : we want new quests graphics and ... Ubisoft : YelLow ShAdeR

I was having a hard time deciding if I should buy the remastered version (my sister has the original 360 version) for my PS4 and this has definitely sold it for me. Thanks for posting this. Though, I do feel like the PS3 version had a better (for the lack of a better word) atmosphere. It was more engaging like a dream, a time long past and still haunting. Doesn't stop the Remastered version from looking fucking gorgeous though.

Venezia Looks amazing In the PS4 version

Damn even the music was so beautiful. It was an amazing game

i think ps3 version is better. ps4 version's graphic is good, but background's mood is feeling sadly...(?) that's what i like it more.

Here’s a neat thing I discovered in this video. If you pay attention to Ezio while you’re scrolling through the video timeline, in some spots he looks like he’s standing still but the world around him is moving. My guesses are where his walk animation is so in synch.

I fw the PS4 graphics but something about it feels like something is missing..🤔

The ps4 version is clearly better, but the ps3 version gives me unexplainable great vibes.

PS3 version looks way better. It has that glossy light effect which looks very pleasing. Ps4 looks so watered down

Your are showing the night time view in PS3 & day time view in PS4. Great Comparison.

i think ac games on ps3 looked so good even though it was 720p.

PS4 looks a lot better

the beautiful realistic atmospheric colors of the ps3 vs ps4 in one picture. I miss it!

Yeah I love the added shadows and the orange hue instead of the depressing blue hue

There's universal acclaim for the music of the games that include Jesper Kyd composing. I wonder why they don't have him more often.

Idk this is one of those rare cases i like the bloom effect on the old one, although theres moments id like those hd scenes like during cutscenes or in the morning time

It also depends a lot on the timing, the ps3 version was captured during sunset, everything looks more red and orange, the ps4 was captured in daylight, remember assassins creed 2 already had day and night mechanics

Love the in game music

i think the original ezio trilogy (especially AC2) have that style of graphics cuz the producers wanted to express the art of italy in that period u can see the game looks like it's painted with pastel colors in water on canvas by a big artist in that period like Leonardo da Vinci that's why people said "why they go from realistic (ac1) to cartoonish (ac2)" i think that's why

Ps3 dreamy better i hate red effects on ps4

can't stand how some of the environments are drowned out by light on the ps3

PS3 in fact looks much better in real, than in this movie.

I like the way it looks when you walk around in real life does everything seems foggy and blurry? No right, well that's the way I want my game to look the same way we see things nice and clear..

the real question is.. is this remaster ? i think not. remaster means make a same game with realistic graphics... so graphics only matter. this just only remove the fog and renew the texture this is more like an update from the game not a new game ... i mean look the new CoD modern warfare there is huge different to the old one

Just here for the music

Assassin's Creed 2 They both look great but in the day, the Ps3 = looks like the Afternoon Ps4 = looks like Early Morning

What you didn’t see in this video is that almost every characters eyes in the PS4 version are cross eyed and bulging out...

Honestly PS3 looks better// feel like ps4 is too clear if that makes sense

why ps3 is at night and ps4 at the evning

There are improvements to the remaster that I like, but I definitely like the original feel after playing both of them.

So basically they added the sunlight, a good addition to a game mostly taking place in Toscana

5:10 why The hell is Forli red in the PS4 version? Forli is the white city 😭

What if ubisoft make a new game combining AC 2 and brotherhood with syndicate graphics and shading That would be a legendary game ❤️

Wow it's a bigger difference than I would have thought

Wow, the bloom was way overboard in the original, glad they got rid of it. And I love that the game is much more colorful now, really feels more like Italy

The original looks way better, and I'm not being nostalgic, because I played the remaster first. Edit: 7:40 Just look at that.

Офигеть на сколько лучше выглядит оригинал. Это переиздание вообще не передаёт живости и глубины проекта. Эх Юбисофт, почему вы свернули не туда

Lesson learned from this comment section, nostalgia is very influential to most.

The best assassin's creed game.

Bgm made this game classy.

Jesus dude... you couldn't be bother to at least wait for the same time of day to compare both versions?

Maybe it's my TV doing some fancy processing but to me AC2 on PS3 looks a little clearer than here. For some reason on the video Ezio looks blurry to me, but when I look on my TV he looks clear. Nice comparison though, the textures are much higher detail on the updated version. (Are we sure the PS3 video was captured in 1080p and not upscaled somehow?)

man... Would it really have been so hard to put these remasters on PC?

The music in the ezio trilogy is the best

Wait. What? True the PS4 looks more crisp, but where did those ambient occlusion and fog, light, shadows, and basically the whole graphics go, lol

They should make an Ezio collection remake with modern graphics since it’s still the best set of games in gaming history

I do remember that monterogni had that weird greenish hazy looking effect to it

This game will really look great with origins graphics or unity graphics

The PS3 version looks better to me. While the PS4 version increases the definition of the image, it also displays all the imperfections, while the PS3 version is a product of its time.

Well... How the game looks like in ps3 is better, not like better graphics but just how it looks. Idd rather play it on my ps3 than on my ps4 (but i dont have the game for both lol) but brotherhood was good too, i had it on my ps3

So... is this a night and day comparison?
